Tenchi Back Home Chapter 3
I See More Then the Shadow

The incident had started
out innocently enough. The Girls were talking about their favorite
shows durring Lunch. Spefically the mushy rommanic soap operas many
of them liked. A conversation about rommanic meetings and true love
inevitably lead to Tenchi and how each of them meet him. The
conversation eventually moved to how Yugi meet Tenchi, and how she
was the only one to get a hug at the their first meeting.

" You were
hysterical, he was calming you down. That's all." Ryoko had
said.

" Tenchi just likes
me better, that's all." Yugi had retorted.

Then it happened.

" Tenchi just sees
Sakuya when he looks at you!" Ryoko shouted. Yugi's eyes widened
in terror and the room went deathly silent. Just after Yugi woke up,
The Girls had made a pact not to mention Sakuya or her connection to
Yugi in anyway. It was mostly to spare Tenchi's feelings but also for
Yugi's sake as well. It had almost been taboo but as Yugi became
their friend they had forgotten

Until now.

Yugi ran of the house.
Sasami quickly followed her, but not before giving Ryoko a nasty
death glare. The other girls stared at the space pirate.

" Ryoko, how could
you?!" Ayeka snapped.

" I didn't
mean....it just slipped out!" Ryoko protested

" You need to
apologize." Kyone said.

" I know, I know."
Ryoko took flight and phased through the wall. "Though I don't
know how much good it'll do." She mutttered.

She found Sasami searching
frantically in the front yard. " Where's Yugi?"

" I don't know! She
vanished once I got outside." Everyone started looking for the
missing mutant. They searched the Masaki shrine from it's roots to
it's cieling but still no sign of Yugi. Even when Tenchi got home
they still hadn't found her. He came home to see everyone running
around the Shrine.

" What are you guys
doing?" He asked

" Uhhh..." Ryoko
fumbled for an excuse. "..... We're..... playing a game! That's
right, we're playing a game." A collective chill swept through
Ryoko and she turned to see the others glaring at her. "Alright."
She admitted. " We're looking for Yugi, she went missing awhile
ago."

" Missing? ! Why?"

" Ryoko said
something very mean to Yugi!" Sasami shouted.

" What was it?"

" That you only see
Sakuya when you look at her!"

Tenchi's eyes widened then
he scowled at Ryoko." How could you? !"

" IT SLIPPED OK!"

" Tenchi."
Washu called.

" What is it Washu?"

" I need your help
with something in my Lab."

" I don't have time
Washu, I need to find Yugi." Tenchi had already turned away when
Washu grabbed his arm.

" It's really
important Tenchi." She urged. "There's an issue with that
particular jurian energy." Tenchi's
eyes lit up in realization.

"...Alright. I don't
know how I can help."

" You'll be a big
help, come on." Tenchi followed Washu into her lab. What he saw
made him both happy and worried

Yugi was sitting on top
of pile of science gagdets franticlly trying to work her dampners
off. Right now she was using a ray gun.

" She teleported in
here a while ago demanding that I remove the dampners." Washu
explained. "I didn't of course and so she started going through
all my inventions. She's been here since Ryoko's comment."

Tenchi walked over to
Yugi. What she was using right now looked like a giant pair of
tweezers. "Yugi, what are you doing?"

Yugi refused to meet his
eyes, intent on her present task." I'm trying to get these
stupid dampners off!"

" Why do you want to
get them off? Does this have something to do with what Ryoko said?"
Yugi paused briefly before going at her dampners when renewed vigor.
Tenchi walked closer to her

" Don't listen to
her. Space Pirates say stuff like that to each other all the time."
He walked closer still, " It's how they greet each other."
Yugi flashed a barrier when Tenchi got too close.

" What she said is
true and you know it! Now I have to get THESE STUPID THINGS OFF!"
Yugi was so frustrated she resorted to banging the dampners with the
tweezers. Tenchi snuck past the barrier and knelt next to Yugi.

" Yugi, if you take
the dampners off you could fall asleep again. Washu said if you fall
asleep again you might not wake up again."

Yugi finally looked up
from her task and stared Tenchi in the eyes; he gasped. Yugi's eyes
were red and puffy. She'd been crying since Ryoko's comment.

" So what?! You'd
rather have Sakuya then me anyway!"

SMACK!

Yugi sat wide eyed as she
touched the red spot on her cheek. Then she was eveloped in Tenchi's
embrace and he hugged her close.

" I do miss Sakuya.
But I would miss you too."

" But I only(sniff)
remind you of Sakuya! You(sop) see her instead of me!" Tenchi
tightened his hug.

" You and Sakuya are
different people. You are Yugi Masaki.
Not Sakuya Komashiro." Yugi brust into fresh tears and clutched
Tenchi's shirt, soaking it. Tenchi smiled and rubbed her back. After
a good cry Yugi calmed down. She reached up, hugged Tenchi around his
neck and nuzzled him.

" I love you Tenchi."

" I love you too
Yugi. Just like I love Ayeka, Ryoko, Grandfather, and the rest of my
family."

"Well done Tenchi."
Washu said from afar.

Tenchi and Yugi left the
lap and told everyone she was safe.

" Yugi......."
Ryoko started. " I'm really sorry for what I said earlier. I
wasn't thinking."

" It's alright."
Yugi said with a shurg.

" .......Really?"
Ryoko asked. Tenchi got a sense of impending doom when he saw the
evil glint in Yugi's eyes.

" Yep. I got to be
held by Tenchi because of what you said." A vein poked out on
the forehead of one space pirate and one princess.

"...What-did-you-say?"

Yugi hugged herself in a
dramatic fashion and made a look of pure pleasure."He held me
with such care and tenderness, like I was a priceless treasure."
Tenchi got a fight-or FLIGHT reaction. But Yugi wasn't done yet. "
Aaannddddd.......He told me he loved me."
Giant Ayeka and Ryoko demon heads glared down at Tenchi.

He frantically waved his
hands. " Iiittt wasn't like that! I said loved her like family!
Like I love all of you!" But it did no good.

" ATTACK!"

Earth's Guardian was soon
running for his life around the Masaki Shrine dodging energy bolts.

" Yugi! That wasn't
nice!" Sasami scolded.

" They won't hurt
him....not too badly." Yug replied. " Besides, once they're
finished, I can nurse him back to health!" She added dreamily.
The room was then filled by a giant dream bubble of Yugi in a nurse
outfit feeding Tenchi, who was in a full body cast.

Sasami sighed. "
Yugi, what am I going to do with you?"

" Reformed evil."
Kiyone said. " Is still evil." She glanced over her
shoulder. " Isn't that right Washu?" Said Evil Genius
whistled Innocently while backing back into her lap.

" It's good to ee
everyone getting along again." Said Kamidake.

BOOM!

" YOU WON'T ESCAPE!"
Ryoko and Ayeka shouted

" IT'S NOT WHAT YOU
THINK!" Tenchi screamed.

" Yes, all's well
that ends well." Said Azaka

BOOM!

" WASHU! THAT'S
ILLEGAL!" Kiyone screeched.

" Really?
I didn't know."

Yugi, Grandfather and
Sasami watched as their friends and family wreched havoc. The latter
sighing. Grandfather turned to Yugi.

" I trust you're
feeling better?" Yugi smiled

" Yep." She
replied before flying off to safe her love. ' It was horrible
experience.' she thought as she carried a battered Tenchi inside.'
But now I know Tenchi sees more then my Shadow.'
